Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk.
- Beat until smooth.
- Gently fold in the thawed dairy topping.
- Pour the mixture into the prebaked graham cracker pie crust.
- Freeze for 4 to 6 hours.
- Thaw for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother filling, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the powdered sugar to 3/4 cup. For a chocolate twist, consider adding cocoa powder to the mixture or drizzling melted chocolate on top before serving. If you can't find frozen dairy topping, whipped cream works as a great substitute.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled, garnished with chocolate shavings or crushed peanuts for an appealing look. This pie pairs beautifully with Limeade Pie for a refreshing dessert duo. Consider serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for added richness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. To enjoy, simply remove the pie from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Avoid refreezing once thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth?
Yes, using crunchy peanut butter will give the pie a delightful texture and added flavor. Just keep in mind that it may alter the smoothness of the filling slightly, but it can add a nice contrast in texture.
How can I make this pie more chocolatey?
To add a chocolate flavor, mix in 1/4 cup of cocoa powder with the other ingredients or fold in mini chocolate chips before pouring into the crust. You can also top the pie with chocolate ganache for an indulgent finish.
Is there a non-dairy alternative for the cream cheese?
Absolutely! Look for non-dairy cream cheese alternatives available in stores. Brands like Tofutti or Kite Hill offer great substitutes that can effectively mimic the texture and flavor of traditional cream cheese in this recipe.
